Exposed 120 volt outlet on light post! Yikes
Broken of street sign post. Dangerous.
Green fence on Ramble Rd W and Rusgan in Blueridge is damaged. May have been hit. Fence post knocked down and rest of fence falling apart.
Property is unsafe. Front door is ajar, windows in rear are open, dettached structure in rear is structurally unsafe, SW corner support post has deteriorated causing structure to lean out of square, roof at the peak is open, windows are broken out, etc. In-ground pool is failing and deteriorated, rodent problem.
There is a set of two squares of sidewalk that need fixed outside of the atlas at 3rd and college. I fell there and shattered my knee two years ago. I filed with the safety office. It still isn’t fixed. Please do something with it so no one else gets hurt there.
I just saw the USPS truck pass up a few houses on our block, probably because about 5-6 feet of street in front of the mailboxes are unplowed. After not getting mail for two days, it's pretty unlikely neither we or our neighbor (who shares the mailbox post with us) have mail. Will the city plow more of the street so our mailboxes are accessible, or are we responsible for shoveling that 5-6 feet of city street ourselves?
The stop sign posted at the corner of our lot (where E Gilbert Dr and N Laverne Dr intersect) is missing. Currently, the post is standing with no sign indicating "STOP." As this is a hazard to the vehicle and pedestrian traffic in our neighborhood, would it be possible to replace the sign quickly?
The Stop Ahead sign on Indiana Ave between 3rd and 4th is missing. The sign post is still there, but I noticed the sign is gone. This is right by the front steps to the Law School.
This morning, one of the sanitation trucks ran into our mailbox and broke the wooden mailbox post and bent the heavy duty steel mailbox in front so that it can no longer be opened. USPS will not deliver mail to an address that does not have a working mailbox. We would greatly appreciate if you would please rectify this situation ASAP. Thank you.
The construction on Rhorer and Gordon Pike has pushed a lot of the thru-traffic on the South side to East Burks Dr., resulting in a traffic load that the small, curved road wasn't designed for. More cars are coming through, and not always at a safe speed. This issue is highlighted by the fact that currently, there are no signs prohibiting parking on either side of Burks Dr., so residents park on both sides of the street. This creates a one-lane road that has to accommodate a large traffic load (relative to it's design). Some residents have even taken to parking large tractor/trailer vehicles on the road, which almost completely eliminates visibility of oncoming traffic as you round the bend going from west-to-east. My suggestion is to please restrict parking to the east-to-west side of the street, and post "No Parking" signs on the west-to-east side of the street. This allows for the greatest visibility for both sides of traffic, and also maintains two-way traffic, an important element to South side transportation with alternate routes still under construction.
